Rich cultural specificity brings a fresh perspective to a familiar scenario in this two-handed drama about masculinity, sibling bonds, and the clash between dreams and expectations.

3.5/5

Especially with the performances from his leads which seem to leave one feeling raw and vulnerable, [director Omar] Kamara’s work becomes a film that lingers through its honesty.

'African Giants' is a rich story. The film is a love letter to brotherhood. There are many aspects of the film that I appreciate... being witness to the brothers in moments of vulnerability, moments of truth, moments of struggle, and moments of love.
